Meanwhile, Bored Panda was interested in finding out how active this year’s contestants were. According to Wood, the entire team had lots of interaction with the entrants, “especially close to the deadline of the competition closing.”
“People are so proud of their pets and rightly so and will literally do anything to get a photo entered. The commitment is off the scale,” she told us.

Waiting for the judges’ decisions can be nerve-wracking. We asked Wood what advice she’d give the finalists to help them keep their stress levels in check over the next month.
She noted that it’s important to stay positive, as well as to remember that no matter the outcome, being shortlisted as a finalist is “amazing in itself because the competition is so fierce.”

Wood urged everyone to “enjoy the ride.” Meanwhile, everyone can do their part to spread the word about the People’s Choice Category where the public decides the winner in that case.
“Be sure to get all your friends, family, acquaintances, neighbors, and colleagues to vote. It’s a fun way to spend 10 mins and you never know!”
